Twice a week, the community gathers in spirited meetings to discuss and address pressing local challenges. These discussions span a variety of topics, such as land deeds, property taxes, street cleaning, and resolving issues like roaming goats grazing along city roads. Residents also explore ways to build new roads, install solar-powered streetlights, and ensure salaries keep pace with rising inflation.
The conversations often expand to ambitious aspirations, including attracting investments to rejuvenate the city and fostering connections with the Somali diaspora to encourage their return and participation in local development. These gatherings serve as a vital platform for collaboration, empowering residents to take collective action and shape a brighter, more prosperous future for their city.
